Tips for Starting Wrist Watches Business and Where buy Wrist Watches Online in Nigeria

As we all know that Wrist Watch business in Nigerian is a golden business! Anyone who goes into it and master the strategy can never be poor again. I said so, and I know what I'm talking about. It amazes me how people keep looking for money where there is none; thereby, overlooking where the actual money is, and one of the places or business where you can see the real money is in wrist watch business. And the business is very simple!

How do you get Wrist Watch business started?

1. Look for a busy place - You can get a nice decent place in a market, at the shopping mall or buy the bus stops. Not a shop, just a clean open place where you can situate your show case (show glass as they use to call it) under an umbrella or anything like that. You can negotiate with shop owners to allow you to stay in from of their shop while you pay them some monthly dues.

Make sure you negotiate a place where you will be keeping your show case at the end of every business day to avoid it being destroyed before the next day.

2. Build a Show Case - This can be done by a Carpenter if you wants to use the wooden types decorated with white Formica, that make it looks very attractive. The Carpenter will charge between N10,000 to N15,000 depending on the size you want. Get a nice one done for you, it's part of your branding.

You can go for aluminum type which cost higher (if you can afford it) that one look very nice too and wrist watches use to look nice inside it. The aluminum type cost about twenty thousand and above.

3. Proceed to Idumota to buy your watches - If you want to deal with the semi originals, you should budget nothing less than N100,000 to fill your show case to a reasonable extent. You can mix it with the ordinary ones for those who may not afford the semi originals. Buy some fanciful wrist watch cases too for those who may want to present a wrist as gifts to someone.

4. Shade your Wrist Watches - The next thing after buying your watches is to display them in your show case for people to see them and begin to patronize you.

Once you are through with these four steps, it's time to get down to money making business and starts smiling to the bank. My aim is to see that everyone start something worthwhile this year - Not just something but lucrative business. 

I don't see the reasons why our youths should be humiliated everyday in another man's country when they can actually make it in Nigeria with peace of mind and respect. I also don't see why someone should take to crime to make ends meet when there are thousands of means of making decent money.

Advantages of Online Shopping In Nigeria

The internet has revolutionized the way people shop. It is something people enjoy immensely, because of the amazing sales, bargains and discounts and also because of numerous other advantages it offers that online shopping is preferred in Nigeria.

Few advantages of online shopping in Nigeria over conventional shopping are:

Convenience: The convenience that online shopping offers drive people to shop online. Where else can one shop at midnight, from the comfort of your bed and get stuff that is affordable and yet of the best quality. Shopping can be done in minutes, and the products are delivered in the home.

Variety: There is no doubt that online shopping offers several brands of products at one place. There is no need to visit 10 different shops to look for that perfect item now. It can be done conveniently through few mouse clicks. Another advantage of online shopping is it opens the door for other retailers in other part of the country, as well.

Pricing: Another fantastic thing about online shopping in Nigeria is the price at which it offers the stuff. It is fascinating to see the deals these online stores offer. This is because they tend to get the items directly from the manufacturer, by doing this there are no middlemen involved. Many online stores offer rebates and coupons.

Gifting: Online shopping open doors to sending gifts to your loved ones in Nigeria. Now distance cannot be an excuse for sending gifts on Mother’s day, Father’s day, Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries etc.

Comparison of Prices: Online shopping in Nigeria makes research and comparison of prices very easy. It also gives you the ability to share your experience with other online shoppers.

Fewer expenses: Many a time when we go out shopping, we tend to spend a lot more on other things like eating out, travelling, impulsive shopping etc, While in case of online shopping, it is more likely that the focus is on what is required and does not shift to other items.

No Traffic, No crowd: This is also one of the reasons people opt for online shopping. You don’t need time to reach a destination, to get ready, no traffic, and no crowd. After a tiring day at work, it is more likely that the crowd and traffic would irritate you.

When buying from online stores in Nigeria, buy from reputed stores. Check if they have a refund policy in case you do not like the stuff. Also read the consumer review on the website and select the one with happy and satisfied consumers.

Top 10 Benefits of Online Shopping

Advantages of Online Shopping

Internet has revolutionized the way we do our Shopping. Because of the numerous Advantages and Benefits of Shopping Online more and more people these days prefer Online Shopping over conventional shopping. There are many reasons why I think buying on the internet is the best option too.

What are some reasons why Online Shopping is liked by many? Given below are my Top 10 Reasons for Buying Online.

10 Benefits of Online Shopping

1) Convenience: The convenience of this method of shopping is what I like best about it. Where else can you do shopping even a midnight wearing your night suit? You do not have to wait in a line or wait till the shop assistant is ready to help you with your purchases. You can do your shopping in minutes even if you are busy apart from saving time and avoiding crowds. Online shops give us the opportunity to shop 24 x 7 and also reward us with a ‘no pollution’ shopping. There is no better place to buy information products like e-books. Immediately after the payment is made one can download the information. And downloadable items purchased online eliminate the need for any kind of material goods at all.

2) Better Prices: Another thing which fascinates me is the cheap deals and better prices I get from online stores because products come to you direct from the manufacturer or seller without middlemen involved. Many online shops offer discount coupons and rebates. Apart from this, the Online Store is only required to collect sales tax if they have a physical location in our state even if we buy from a store across the world.

3) Variety: The choices you can get for products are amazing. One can get several brands and products from different sellers at one place. You can get in on the latest international trends without spending money on airfare. When you shop online, you can shop from retailers in other parts of the country or even the world without being limited by geographic area. These stores offer a far greater selection of colors and sizes than you will find locally. Apart from that, How many times have it happened that you spend your money reaching a local shop only to find that the product you need is out of stock? Some online shops have a provision to accept orders without stock and ship it across to you when the stock becomes available. You also have the option of taking your business to another online store where the product is available.

4) Send Gifts: Online Shopping makes sending gifts to relatives and friends easy, no matter where ever they stay. Now there is no need of making distance an excuse for not sending a gift on occasions like Birthday, Wedding Anniversary, Marriage, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day etc.

5) Fewer Expenses: Many times when we opt for conventional shopping we tend to spend a lot more than the required shopping expenses on things like eating out, traveling, impulsive shopping etc.

6) Comparison of Prices: Online shops make comparison and research of products and prices possible. Online stores also give you the ability to share information and reviews with other shoppers who have firsthand experience with a product or retailer.

7) Crowds: If you are like me, you would like to avoid the crowds when you do the shopping. Especially during Festivals and Special events the crowds can really give a head ache. Crowds force us to do a hurried shopping most of the time. For me grumpy or irritating people and those who smell bad are a huge turn off. Crowds also create a problem when it comes to finding a parking place nearby where you want to shop and going back to your vehicle later loaded with shopping bags.

8) Compulsive Shopping: Many times when we go out on Shopping we end up buying things which we do not require because of the shop keepers up selling skills. Sometimes we even compromise on our choices because of the lack of choices in those shops.

9) Buying Old or unused Stuff at low prices: Online Shops make it possible for us to buy old or unused stuff at rock bottom prices. If we want to buy antiques there is no better options than online stores.

10) Discreet Purchases: Some things are better done in privacy. Online shops are also best for discreet purchases like adult toys, sexy lingerie and so on. Online Shops enable me to purchase under garments and lingerie without the embarrassment that there are several people watching me and my choices.

Webpages such as Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube would inevitably appear in a list of this nature, but ITNewsAfrica purposefully set out to investigage which Nigerian-specific websites were the most visited in the country – websites that make use of .ng (dot ng) or that have local content.

1. Google.com.ng

To no surprise, the most visited Nigerian website is the country’s localised version of the hugely popular Google search engine. Google has made a point of rolling out localised websites for almost all countries where they have a presence, as it provides users with local information first before displaying international results. According to Alexa, the website is also the second most visited site in Nigeria, just after parent website Google.com. On a global scale, the Nigerian version ranks 233 and according to Alexa, “the rank is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors to this site and pageviews on this site over the past 3 months.” 96.3% of the site’s visitors are from Nigeria, while 0.6% reside in India.

2. Nairaland – The Nigerian Forum

Started by Seun Osewa in 2005, the online community targets Nigerians and boasts 1,068,800 registered accounts, with 35 million monthly page views. According to Alexa, the website also recently overtook South Africa’s News24 website in terms of traffic, to become the most visited website in Africa. While it heavily targets native Nigerians, only 65% of its traffic originates from the country, while 7.1% comes from India and 5.6% comes from the US. The site has on average 5 pageviews per visitor and visitors spend around 7 minutes browsing through all the pages.

Daily pageviews per visitor is just under three pages, while visitor spend around seven minutes on the website in total. According to web traffic measuring website, Compete, the blog gathers around 30 000 unique visitors from the US alone. The website’s popularity is put in perspective when considering that only 3.8% of the traffic comes from the States.

6. NAIJ

Nigerian portal NAIJ provides news coverage on topical subjects, and also promotes music, weather, and local events. With over 206 000 daily unique visitors to the website, it is the third most popular online news source in Nigeria. With an estimate of 1,268,757 daily pageviews and 2.3-million monthly unique visitors, the average user spends over 11 minutes browsing and visits just under six pages while doing so. That, in turn, translates into 35-million monthly pageviews.

In global traffic terms, the site ranks 2 759 on Alexa’s scale of the most popular websites in the world.

The rapid growth of Jumia.com has seen it emerge as arguably the country's number one online shopping portal, with over 500 members of staff after just one year in operation.

With over $70 million investment funding available to its founders, Tunde Kehinde and Raphael Afaedor, Jumia is poised to maintain leadership in Nigeria's online retail market.

The site controls 70 percent of the online retail market in the country and has serviced about half a million customers in its over one year of existence, in addition to being independently ranked as second only to Google for preferred online shopping in Nigeria.

Co-founder of Jumia, Kehinde, who spoke to Sunday Trust at their offices and warehouse facility in Ikeja Lagos, seemed confident that the business will maintain its leadership of the online retail market.
According to him, they strategize to maintain the lead by exploring better innovative technologies and market trends, to deliver the best online shopping experience and options for customers across the country.
In Tunde's words: "All our instinct tells us we have at least five times the volume of the next closest competitor. We expect that to increase as the years keep going, because all the time we are adding more categories."

He adds: "We are expanding our footprint across the country, we have also raised a significant amount of funding to support that growth, and we disclosed about $75 million worth of funding, from people like JP Morgan, etcetera."

The story of Jumia is as novel as it is inspiring, given that Nigeria is known to have a relatively difficult business environment, especially as business startups considered small or medium scale in nature are often dead on arrival or suffer from lack of electric energy, a good business plan or technological pull backs.

Oil Revenue Droped Forty Two Per Cent - tribune.com.ng

A News Publisged with Nigeiran Tribune Written by Gbola Subair with Agency Report Monday, 26 August 2013 02:35 , Entitled as "Nigeria’s oil revenue drops by 42% " ;

THE Federal Government’s gross revenue dropped 42 per cent month-on-month to N497.98 billion ($3.1 billion) in July, because of disruption to oil production caused by thieves hacking into pipelines.
According to a report of an online financial website, Platts McGraw Hill Financial, “the gross revenue of N497.98 billion received for the month was lower than the N863.02 billion received in the previous month,” the ministry said in a statement.

“This was due to continuous theft of crude oil, leakages, pipeline breaks at various terminals, high-pressure compressor failures and repair work.”

Nigeria, Africa’s top oil producer was forced to withdraw N115 billion from its oil windfall savings account to provide money shared out between Nigeria’s 36 states to pay public workers and finance capital projects for July, the ministry said.

Oil accounts for more than 85 per cent of Nigeria’s export earnings.

Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said in July that Africa’s top oil producer’s revenues were dwindling due to the loss of about 400,000 b/d of its oil production to pipeline sabotage, illegal bunkering and large-scale theft.

Data released by Nigeria’s Central Bank so far this year has shown that oil production has been lower than the 2.53 million b/d assumption used by the government for the purpose of revenue calculation in the 2013 budget. Resource

Overview of The Nigerian Economic Growth and Development

INTRODUCTION 

This article overviews the growth and development of the Nigerian economy from inde pendence to present times. Specifically, the following periods are discussed: the pro-oil boom decade (1960-70); the period of the oil boom (1971 1977); the period of stabilisation and structural adjustment (1986 - 1993) and the period of guided deregulation (1994 -1998).

GENERAL PERFORMANCE OF THE ECONOMY

The Nigerian economy has had a truncated history. In the period 1960-70, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) recorded 3.1 per cent growth annually. During the oil boom era, roughly 1970-78, QDP grew positively by 6.2 per cent annually - a remarkable growth. However, in the 1980s, GDP had negative growth rates. In the period 1988-1997 which con stitutes the period of structural adjustment and eco nomic liberalisation, the QDP responded to economic adjustment policies and grew at a positive rate of 4.0. 

In the years after independence, indus try and manufacturing sectors had positive growth rates except for the period 1980-1988 where indus try and manufacturing grew negatively by - 3.2 per cent and - 2.9 per cent respectively. The growth of agriculture for the periods 1960-70 and 1970-78 was unsatisfactory. 

In the early 1960s, the agricul tural sector suffered from low commodity prices while the oil boom contributed to the negative growth of agriculture in the 1970s. The boom in the oil sector lured labour away from the rural sector to urban centres.

The contribution of agriculture to GDP, which was 63 percent in 1960, declined to 34 per cent in 1988, not because the industrial sector increased its share but due to neglect of the agricultural sec tor. It was therefore not surprising that by 1975, the economy had become a net importer of basic food items. 

The apparent increase in industry and man ufacturing from 1978 to 1988, was due to activities in the mining sub-sector, especially petroleum. Capital formation in the economy has not been satisfactory. 

Gross domestic investment as a per centage of GDP, which was 16.3 per cent and 22.8 per cent in the periods 1965-73 and 1973-80 respectively, decreased to almost 14 per cent in 1980-88 and increased to 18.2 per cent in 1991 -98. Gross National Saving has been low and consists mostly of public savings especially during the period 1973-80. The current account bal ances before official transfers are negative for 1965-73,1980-88 and 1991-98.

The economy never experienced double-digit inflation during the 1960s. By 1976, however, the inflation rate stood at 23 per cent. It decreased to 11.8 per cent in 1979 and jumped to 41 percent and 72.8 per cent in 1989 and 1995, respectively. 

By 1998, the inflation rate had, however, reduced to 9.5 per cent from 29.0 per cent in 1996.

Unemployment rates averaged almost 5 per cent for the period 1976-1998. However, the statistics especially on unemployment, must be interpreted with caution. 

Most job seekers do not use the labour exchanges, apart from the inherent distor tions in the country's labour market. Based on some basic indicators, it appears that the economy performed well during the years immediately after independence and into the oil boom years. 

However, in the 1980s the economy was in a recession. The on-going economic reform programme is an attempt to put the economy on a recovery path with minimal inflation. The analysis that follows tries to discuss the developments in the economy for different periods.

Why Nigerian Banks Need Online Shopping Cart

There is an urgent need for e-commerce websites in Nigeria since the country is venturing into cashless money system. Having an ecommerce shopping website where customers will put in their credit card details and purchase goods online. If there is a perfect system like this as it is attainable in the developed countries, business will be smooth and shopping will also be enjoyable. 

 Imagine staying in your house and log on to Shoprite or Pack ‘n’ Shop website and make purchase with your MasterCard or Visa card and the goods will be delivered to your door step. What a lovely day it will be in Nigeria. I am not talking of using Interswitch to transfer money from your ATM. This method is still local and need refining to work smoothly.

The absent of a Nigerian Shopping Cart like PayPal, 2Checkout, Plimus, etc is a big challenge that the financial institutions in this country should do everything to bring to reality. Not one payment processor that will be accepted by only GTBank and another one that will be accepted by First Bank only. 

We need a payment processor that every bank in Nigeria will accept. Think of a situation where you have a shopping cart or ecommerce website where all your goods and services are sold online and a customer log into your site with a credit card and make payment and the money is reflected in your bank account in a matter of seconds. This is what I am talking about. 

This is what I need for my country because it will make internet marketing easier for everyone. A situation where I created an e-commerce shopping cart website that sell e-books and I linked every product to 2Checkout payment processor. People all over the world will go there to buy my books and 2Checkout will collect the money and send it to me here in Nigeria after deducting there commission. 

This is good but not good enough for the average Nigerian who may not be able to purchase my books online through the method I just explained. And not all Nigerians can integrate these foreign payment processors into their website. But a situation when they know that the money will be credited to their bank account instantly and an alert is sent to them, they will easily jump to grab such opportunity.

Online shopping cart if integrated into our banking system will mean more money for the banks and easy online business transaction for businesses and ecommerce web developers. The truth is that we need ecommerce shopping cart system in this nation for internet business to thrive. E-commerce in Nigeria will bring hope for web marketers.

10 Tips To Online Shopping In Nigeria

The year is 2013 and you can buy almost anything on the internet. Why visit rowdy malls and have rude cashiers talk down on you when you can stay at home and order an item from an online store, like a boss that you are?

Online shopping is rapidly becoming a norm in Nigeria. Now you can shop from any part of the county for any product you want, and have your goods delivered to your doorstep. There is every reason to start shopping online in Nigeria, but an average Nigerian suspects everything and everyone. It’s Nigeria so we really don’t blame anybody.

GiftedGreen provides you with 10 tips and basic guidelines to be considered before making an online purchase anywhere, especially in Nigeria.

1.Stick To Reputable Companies

This is not supposed to deter people from to the small, and medium sized online stores but it is always a good idea to stick to the reputable companies when it comes to online shopping. An exception to this rule is when you want to buy a rare item.

 If you encounter links or offers through email from addresses that you aren’t familiar with, or that offer discounts and deals that look too good to be true, play it safe and don’t click suspicious links and delete emails from sources you aren’t familiar with.

You should also be aware of misspellings or other sites that use a top-level domain (a .net instead of a .com).

2.Look For The Lock

At this point you are supposed to hold an ear. Are you holding your ear right now? Good. No matter what you do, never ever, ever buy anything using your credit card information from a site that does not have a SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption installed.

You’ll know it is has it because the URL for the website will start with the HTTPS:// (instead of just HTTP://) and an icon of a locked padlock will appear, typically in the status bar at the bottom of your Web browser. *imitating nollywood* He who has ears let him hear.

3.Compare Prices

Some online stores in Nigeria have exorbitant prices on their website, and this defeat the whole aim of online shopping.

Well, the good news is that when it comes to online shopping your choice of items is infinite, the selection is mind-boggling, and there is no sales attendant pressuring to make purchase an item you don’t want to buy.

It would actually hurt no one if you decide to compare the price of the item you want to buy from different stores (excluding the fraudulent websites) and buy from the store that best suits your wallet. You should also not forget check shipping and handling charges.

4.Know Your Seller

Before buying from any online store, you should make sure that you have finished your homework properly. We do not want to see you crying like a customer that kept his life savings in the now defunct Savannah Bank.

Do an Internet search under the company’s name to look for message boards along the lines of “I hate (company name).” Read a few postings to gauge the company’s customer service and reliability of the comments. If you don’t like what you see, it is a sign from the man upstairs is saying that you should take your business elsewhere.

Be sure the Web site lists the company’s street address and phone number. Even if the website is original and there is not company address, it makes returns difficult and is an invitation to take your business elsewhere.

5.Know the return policy

When it comes to online shopping, it is very important you know the return policy of your online store.

Every online store has its loopholes, and it's important that you understand what they are before giving them your money. Don't even consider a store whose return policy makes it almost impossible to return the goods. It means they don't trust what they're selling, and neither should you.

Check the guarantee because it may be 30 days from when you place the order – not when you receive the merchandise – and you don’t want to be caught short. Make sure there’s no “restocking fee” or other charge for returning an item.

Remember, it is the little things that count

6.Keep all records

Big store or no big store, safe website or no safe website, when your order arrives, save all warranty information.

Print out and keep a record of all your transactions. You’ll need it if disputes arise in the future. This is Nigeria and you cannot be too sure.

7.Check your wallet

Just to be sure, you should review your credit card or account statement regularly to make sure that no unauthorized charges. If you find a fraudulent charge, immediately use your ninja skills to get your phone and address the issue quickly, preferably by calling your bank and closing the account.

8.Be security conscious

It would also be a good idea to install extra security against online fraud. You need to protect your PC against Trojan horse malware with regular updates to your anti-virus program.

Just in case you forgot, it is also important that you use difficult-to-guess passwords whenever you are online, and it is even more important when banking and shopping.

Do we really have to tell you it's a bad idea to use a public computer to make purchases? If you do, remember to logout.

9.Too good to be true

The day you decide to spend N20,000 on a brand new Blackberry Z10, then a yahoo boy somewhere is definitely dancing gangnam style on your head. As a rule, if it is too good to be true or it sounds too good to be true then it is fraudulent.

 In the world of online shopping, skepticism is a highly valuable asset. Skepticism will go a long way toward saving you from unnecessary cursing and tears.

10.Best thing we ever had

Pay on delivery is the best thing to have happened to online shopping in Nigeria. It saves you of almost all the trouble of online shopping.

It is pretty simple, if the goods do not come on time, you do not pay. If the goods happen to be damaged, you do not pay. Even if you change your mind along the way, you do not pay.

Use the Internet’s power to your advantage and remember what your mother taught you.
